it's washington and that's the washington game that people play. >> bill has a fair point. something leaks out, it gets tested and then the president doesn't have to waste his political capital on defend being susan rice. >> well, there are folks who are defenders of susan rice and chuck hagel would put it somewhat differently. their view is, they don't have the white house's opposition team. they don't have formidable folks like bill burton who are arguing on their behalf. their names were floated, put out there pretty much on their own. and then allowed the slings and arrows to come their way. if you have the formal backing of the white house, then you can make it more of a fight. my own view is that both of those names that were floated were not necessarily the best choices for the country. but regardless, if you actually are going to back them, you ought to back them 100%. >> all right. well, thanks very much to both of you. we appreciate it, both very formidable. >> chris lawrence is "outfront" >> reporter: the options are on the table. at the low end, a little more th

"steve la tourette unbound has been one of the fascinating subplots of the fiscal cliff fight." we've heard chuckle heads, sleep deprived octogenarians. now that you're off the job, anything else you would like to get off your chest? >> well, i think, listen, i wish the new congress well and they really have to come to a couple of conclusions. either are you going to work to get things done or make bumper stickers and feed red meat to the base on the right and the left. and i really wish these new folks well. and yesterday not a good sign that's going to happen. >> why do you say that? >> well, 12 people, either 9 or 12 didn't vote for the speaker. that vote is a no brainer. and that's whether or not your party will control the agenda in the house of representatives, and what these chuckle heads think nancy pelosi being speaker of the house is better for the republican party? i don't think so. they have to come to terms with why are they here? we could train a monkey to vote no. if th

jim acosta is in washington. some are blaming on the delay on the pork in the bill, $60 billion, big price tag but there's $150 million in here that could go to fisheries in alaska. no storm damage in alaska. where is that going? >> well, victor, i will tell you that those were some of the concerns expressed by some members of the house before all of this got started. let's rewind a little bit and go back to what happened when the house took up the fiscal cliff legislation, passed it and then left without passing aid to the victims of superstorm sandy, then the lawmakers from new york and new jersey went ballistic. you remember chris christie held that news conference, said "shame on you, shame on congress." i think you can say congress has gotten the message, the house as you mentioned a few moments ago and i did confirm this with a house leadership aide, they do expect this bill to pass at around 11:00 this morning, it provides that 9.7 billion that will pay out claims to people enrolled in the flood insurance
